Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with assessing a newly designed building in a seismic zone. Discuss how you would evaluate its ductility based on the factors learned and what recommendations you would provide.

💡 Hint: Consider all factors affecting ductility.

Question 2

Provide a detailed comparison between two types of construction: one that primarily uses steel and another that employs high-strength concrete. Discuss which would likely perform better in an earthquake and why.

💡 Hint: Think about the properties of materials and how they behave during seismic loads.
